PORTSMOUTH — No new information is being released on the condition of Gregorio Ortega, 20, who almost drowned in the wave pool at Water Country here Saturday afternoon.

“At this point, we are not releasing anything,” said Portsmouth Regional Hospital Media Contact Nancy Notis on Tuesday.

The last information release about Ortega, of Lawrence, Mass., was on Monday when Portsmouth Fire Chief Steven Achilles said the man was in critical condition.

The “Eagle Tribune” newspaper in Lawrence, Mass., has reported that Ortega's cousin, Nicole Villafane, had said her cousin wasn't breathing on his own as of Monday morning.

Seacoastonline.com was reporting that Ortega remains in critical condition and that his parents are at his side.

Ortega was visiting the water park on Saturday to celebrate his younger brother's 13th birthday, said Villafane.

Villafane said they had only been at the park for 90 minutes before the accident occurred. Ortega was in what she described as a “packed” wave pool and had apparently been struggling under water for an unknown amount of time.

When asked if the accident was being investigated, Cristine Trayner, the marketing manager for Water Country, said she couldn't give any information on the matter.
